River Ridge CDD approves radar signs, landscape contract and several maintenance bills; board closes several items
Summary
At its Nov. 19 meeting the River Ridge CDD approved a package of operational actions including a $105,000 contract for digital speed signs, hiring GulfScapes to replace Laz’s Lawn Service and a $15,000 irrigation change order; the meeting also adopted Resolution 2025-02 naming officers and set a Dec. 10 meeting date.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board of Supervisors on Nov. 19 approved multiple operational contracts and maintenance actions and adopted a resolution naming its officers.
The board unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-02 to elect Bob Schultz as chair and Terry Mountford as vice chair, and to retain Kurt Blumenthal, Robert Twombly and Keith Merrill as assistant secretaries. The resolution was moved by Terry Mountford and seconded by Kurt Blumenthal.
Operations Manager Shane Willis presented a package of traffic-calming proposals. The board approved My AV-Tech LLC Estimates 24150 and 24151 to wire and install three permanent and one mobile 15-inch solar-powered digital speed signs with camera messaging and cloud services, authorizing a combined total of $105,000. Eric Long, identified in the record as PSGRC general manager, told the board an existing unit recorded about 800 varied speeding violations over a three-week period; staff said new poles will be purchased at roughly $1,200 each.
District Engineer Charlie Krebs presented a revised scope for the Seaside & Master Drainage Project; staff said work is expected to begin in two to three weeks. The board approved an Irrigation Concepts change order to repair damaged wiring and to raise about seven to eight irrigation heads in a not-to-exceed amount of $15,000.
On landscape services, the board approved terminating the contract with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc. for performance reasons and authorized engaging GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services. GulfScapes submitted a proposal of $58,500, approximately $13,000 above the $45,000 line-item budget; the board approved using unassigned funds and withheld payments from Laz’s Lawn to offset the difference.
The board accepted unaudited financial statements as of Oct. 31, 2024 and noted that funds will be applied to prepay the Series 2022A note. The board also approved October 22, 2024 meeting minutes as amended.
The meeting record shows staff and supervisors continued follow-up on multiple active items — including streetlight and sidewalk repairs — and set the next meeting for Dec. 10, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. The meeting was recorded as adjourned (the minutes contain both 2:51 p.m. and 3:07 p.m. as adjournment times).
